There comes a time
In everyman's life where he's got to face
The truth no matter what.
We are coming to you father
With our sins and everything
To thank you
Those that smoke marijuana
Wanna thank you father
For making it grow internationally,
They wanna thank you lord
Even though police cut it down,
Sometimes they burn it down
But it grows again
Thank you father
Chorus
We wanna thank you father
For everything you've given us
Nations that oppress other nations
Wanna thank you father
Even though it's painful to be oppressed
But they thank you...
For making them strong
Politicians thank you father
For making them to be able
To lie with a straight face
While the nation cries
They wanna thank you lord
Repeat chorus till fade
Lucky Philip Dube (1964-2007), noto semplicemente come Lucky Dube, è stato un leggendario cantante e musicista sudafricano di fama internazionale. Nato in una famiglia povera nella provincia del KwaZulu-Natal, Dube iniziò la sua carriera musicale negli anni '80 con il genere reggae, mescolando temi sociali e politici con melodie ritmate e coinvolgenti. La sua musica divenne un potente strumento per denunciare l'apartheid e promuovere la pace e la giustizia sociale in Sudafrica. Dube ha pubblicato oltre 20 album durante la sua carriera, vendendo milioni di copie in tutto il mondo. Alcuni dei suoi brani più famosi includono "Slave", "Prisoner", "Remember", e "Taxman". La sua musica ha superato i confini nazionali, raggiungendo un pubblico internazionale e contribuendo a diffondere la cultura reggae su scala globale. Purtroppo, Dube è stato assassinato nel 2007 durante un tentativo di rapina, lasciando un vuoto incolmabile nella scena musicale africana. La sua eredità continua ad ispirare generazioni di musicisti e attivisti per la giustizia sociale.
